The Conversions (American Literature (Dalkey Archive))

Editorial Reviews
Times Literary Supplement 3-20-98
"Exquisitely stitched narratives, and [a] sense of wonderverging on aweat the world's regal strangeness . . . inspires [Mathews's] novels. . . . Extraordinary imagination. . . . Told with the strictest economy, without extraneous justification or explanation."

Edmund White, New York Times
"The tragi-comedy of human ingenuity, which insists upon interpreting the facts of experience even when they are senseless, baffling, or banal. . . . a remarkable extension and exploration of the odd fictional devices invented by Raymond Roussel."
